“It seems the beating I had given you last time was light. You had recovered enough to talk nonsense. If I see anyone from you or your fiancé’s family even that old woman, I will start telling the nurses how you and your fiancé came together. The things I will say, you will not be able to walk around this hospital freely. I will make you famous. I wonder if you dare to test me,” Hazel said and he froze. He looked back to see her smiling face and instantly felt a chill.
“If it is found that your fiancé is the reason for the gossip spreading in my company about Hazel, tell her that she should also wait for charges of inciting bodily injury,” Hazel said and Mike started to suspect that his fiancé had really done something. He knew that he could not address it here, so he left.
Hazel was soon transferred to a different room and Jane looked at the time.
“I have to go, I will come see you later, okay?” Jane said and tussled Hazel’s hair before leaning in.
“Then, you will have to explain this new family member,” she said and Hazel swatted her away. She left soon after that.
Marcus looked at her lying there.
“Do you prefer that I do not interfere in your matter?” he asked her.
“Yes, very much so,” she said.
“Too late for that, now.” He answered and took a seat beside her.
The hallway of the police station was completely solemn despite the noise of people moving about as Mr. Kenneth, sat waiting.
He did not know what came over him. He actually attacked someone at work. He could already see the query the company would send his way. He really messed up this time.
His hands trembled while he sat on a worn-out bench. The thought of many things. He thought of how he got here. An assault charge on an employee?
He could get demoted or worse, fired.
He was first in the general hall writing his statement when he suddenly got moved to an interrogation room.
Looking around the room, Jon, thought this was an overkill. He had only smashed a vase, why are they acting as though he is a criminal?
Suddenly, the door swung open, and a man in a dark suit entered. Behind him were two policemen.
Jon’s heart skipped a beat as he saw the two of them.
“Mr. Kenneth, I presume?” the man in a dark suit said, his voice cut through the tense atmosphere like a knife.
Jon swallowed and nodded. “Yes. But I have said that I will only talk when my lawyer gets here.”
The man’s expression remained stoic as he pulled out a stack of papers from his briefcase. “You will need to sign these.”
Jon was confused as he struggled to understand the man’s words. “what is it?” he asked. A bad feeling suddenly washed over him.
The man stepped forward, his demeanor cold and indifferent. “release forms. It says that Mrs Green will not be pressing charges and the matter has been solved amicably,” he declared.
Shock was the first thing that crashed into Jon’s head, followed by a greater confusion than the one before hit him like a ton of bricks. “She will not be suing me? But… I don’t understand. I may have mistakenly harmed Miss Hazel, but the most I did to the company was to it’s reputation and breaking that vase. Now that I think about it, it was probably a small injury so, I can understand that she does not want to sue ” he said.
“Then, what is the problem?” The man asked.
“Why is the police not handling this and who are you?” Jon asked.
All the warning signs were going off in his head. He knew that he was being released by being asked to sign the form, but something about how this was happening made he weary.
